She told West End Frame, "Wow! Thank you West End Frame! I'd like to thank all those who voted for me. It's an honour to be performing and appreciated here in beautiful London's West End. I owe this great award to you, guys!

"And to the whole Les Miserables company, thank you for being so amazing and for all the support and encouragement! What a dream come true to be part of this phenomenal long running show. I am so blessed! Cheers!"

British theater actor Matt Corner placed second for his rendition of "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" in Jersey Boys.
